Film review: Dear John

Film review: Dear John

Last week, I was very bored at home and I didn’t want to play more with the play station so I decided to turn on the computer and search a film to watch. I didn’t find anything until I saw Dear John, my favourite film, and it was on youtube! I couldn’t resists and I saw again (I think it’s the sixth o seventh time that I watch this film).

This film talks about a special force, called John Tyree, that finishes temporally his service and he has a month more o less for visit the family and friends. During this period of time, he meets Savannah, a beautiful and kind girl, that it’s incredible for him. During this month, they do a lot of things together and they finally fall in love. But the problems appear when she has to go the university, and he has to come back to Special Forces. Then it’s when they send letters to each other, that’s the reason of the title “Dear John”, but the love it’s very cruel with the distance and when they finally have a weekend for stay with their lover, he tells to her that he wants to expanse his service with the Special Forces because he wants to fight for his country, and that means that they will have to be another year separated. She doesn’t like this idea but she finally understands him and she say that she will wait. And before he leaves she said: See you soon. But one day, a letter arrives to John, and in this letter she said that she find another person, and he needs her, and that she loves him. Months later, a terrorist shoots John and he has to be out of the Special Forces during three months, moreover, when he returns home, his father, who was very ill, died, and then he goes to Savannah’s house and they remember the old times, and when she explain why she loves the other man, he can’t understand and he leave this house. But when he return to his house, he sells an old collection of coins that his father had, and he gives this money to Savannah’s lover, who has cancer, and with this money he could have more time for say good bye to their family. Finally, he returns to the Special Forces and makes a new life without her.

I really like this film because, it isn’t a Disney Film, and that means that the film can finish sadly. A like this kind of film because it’s different to the other, another film will has finished with John and Savannah living together with children or something like that. I recommend this film to everybody and above all to this days that it rains and you don’t want to do anything.
